Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Hammonton, NJ

Abacus Payroll, Inc. is a payroll and workforce management firm based in Hammonton, New Jersey. It works with employers across Southern New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia area. The company was founded in 1999 and marked its twenty-fifth year in 2024. Its focus is small and mid-sized organizations, from family-run shops with a handful of staff to firms with several hundred workers. It also says it can support much larger corporate clients.

Payroll and Related Services

The core offering is full-service payroll. Abacus calculates pay, runs each payroll cycle and handles the related tax filings, so owners do not have to track those deadlines themselves. Around that core, the firm has built a set of add-on services that cover employees from onboarding through retirement:

• Payroll processing and payroll tax filing
• Human resources support, including compliance help and employee handbook creation
• Timekeeping through Swipeclock
• Workers' compensation insurance
• Workplace retirement plan integration
• Pay cards for employees
• Background checks

Clients and their staff use secure, web-based software that works on computers, tablets and phones at any hour, which suits remote, hybrid and mobile teams. Employees have a self-service portal, and HR resources are delivered through the Mineral HR platform. For businesses moving from another provider, the firm publishes guidance on switching. It also offers forms, tax and wage rate tables, FAQs and tutorials.

Industries Served

Abacus lists experience with a broad range of sectors. These include agriculture, farms and wineries; law and other professional service firms; medical, dental and veterinary practices; retail cannabis dispensaries; seasonal businesses along the Jersey Shore; and construction. It also serves restaurants, hotels and hospitality operators, accounting and CPA firms, startups, and households that employ domestic workers.

How the Firm Works With Clients

Service style is the main difference the company emphasizes. It does not route callers to toll-free lines and rotating representatives. Instead, each client is paired with an assigned payroll specialist who learns the specifics of that business and serves as a single point of contact for resolving problems.

The firm says it will recommend services that keep a workforce compliant but will not push extras a client has no use for. It reports a client retention rate of 99.3 percent as of 2022, and testimonials on its site often mention reaching a real person by phone.

Background and Affiliation

Abacus operates under The Alloy Silverstein Group umbrella and draws support from the regional accounting practice of Alloy Silverstein, which has served small business clients since 1959. Through that relationship, its payroll specialists can call on a team of more than 40 accountants. This gives clients combined tax, accounting, finance and general business expertise alongside their payroll.

The staff bring many years of experience processing payroll for smaller employers. The company positions itself as a local, responsive alternative to national payroll providers for businesses in South Jersey and the Philadelphia region.
